Dawkins has long admitted his mistake from what I heard, he's still an Atheist but he's apparently more in line with me that for larger society you need a Christian morality framework otherwise you end up with present day problems.
More like "short" admitted his mistake lol, as he made those comments recently. Knowing his history of commentary and publication, that was mindboggling. He advocated for the extermination of religion as humanity's enemy and partnered with people who called it child abuse. Now he sounds like a chastened teenager.
He's starting to see how a society built upon Christianity has been falling apart without Christianity involved. While I hope he has a literal come to Jesus moment, I think he may want the benefits of Christianity without the core fundamental requirements.
To be a different religion than Christianity: People have built societies on that and pretty decent ones too. To be irreligious: I'm not sure anyone has. It's disordered for people to live without religion. People need that. I would have a hard time separating the downtick in Christianity from the downtick in religion in general.
Science failed to solve the problem that science caused. Trust science. I fcking love science!!!!
This may be the beginning of the end for the Collins-Fauci-Dawkins-Mann era where scientists became our modern priests.

Everyone wants the benefits of living healthy without actually having to live healthy.
